Quotes – What is Success?

power behind taking responsibility for your actions lies in putting an end to

“How
many of us stop short of success on purpose? How many of us sabotage our own
happiness because failure, while miserable, is a fear we're familiar with?
Success, however, dreams come true, are a whole new kind of terrifying, an

communities - and not the communities simply of our human neighbors but also of
the water, earth, and air, the plants and animals, all the creatures with whom
our local life is shared.
